A little update for TPI courtesy of the IWA Boards
Arik Cannon informed us that he was only going to be available for one day of this years tournament after taking bookings for both days. So, due to that recent find, we called around to find a suitable, if not better, replacement for this year's TPI.
So, taking his spot will be AAA Mexico Star Cassandro.
We feel Cassandro is going to be a great draw for the locals in the neighborhood and we are certain he will add a special "flare" to the TPI.
Stay tuned as we plan on making more announcements in the coming weeks.

Some News on this years TPI!!! from Today Aug/11 courtesy of the IWA-MS Boards.
B.J. called us and told us that he will be having surgery this week on his hand. B.J. broke his hand a while back and it doesn't seem to be healing properly. We want to take this time and wish B.J. the best in recovery and we look forward to having him back in IWA when he is healed.
So, once again, we called around to find a suitable, if not better, replacement (depending on what your view of "said" wrestler is to clarify).
So first off, instead of it being B.J. Whitmer vs. Bobby Fish on August 16, 2008, it will now be Bobby Fish vs. Micheal Elgin.
Now, taking B.J. Whitmer's spot in this year's TPI will be the other half of "Swiss Money Holding" Ares.
Ares has wrestled Kenta Kobashi, and made a name for himself in such places as Pro Wrestling Noah and all around the world. We are sure that he will definitely be a great addition to this tournament.
Look for more announcements on this board in the next few weeks.

Some big news updates on this years TPI coming from this weekends to huge IWA shows, results for those two shows by the way can be found on the Results board.
Prince Mustafa Ali, Trik Davis and Tracy Smothers were Invited yesterday into the TPI today at the We Are Family 2 show.
Hades & Quick are out of the TPI in order to face each other in an I Quit Steel Cage Match where the loser can't use the name Ja(y)son anymore since so many people complain about the number of Jasons in IWA.
So 2 spots remain for TPI.
Also.....
These Matches were anounnced Bobby Fish vs 2 Cold Scorpio and Ego vs Ali in the 1st round of the TPI.
